Hi there! I'm going to give a series of hints and we'll see if you can get it working with these.

  • On line 2 you've misspelled car_speed twice
  • On line 2 you have a logic flaw. You're checking to see if the car's speed is greater than or equal to 40 and greater than or equal to 50. It should be less than or equal to 50.
  • You're printing your strings when you should be using the return statement
  • Your if/else block needs its own end statement
  • You do not need to call the function. Treehouse will call it for you.

I hope you can get it with just these hints, but let us know if you need more help! :sparkles:
